About two weeks ago I (finally!) upgraded from 2.2.2 to 2.2.8. My FreeBSD machine has a dedicated dial-up connection to the Net that I need to stay up 24/7 no matter what. PPP used to, despite my ISP's best efforts to thwart it, keep my connection live anytime it dropped. Now it doesn't. I have both reconnect and redial set to 50 tries, random delay, but when the connection drops (usually at like 5am every day), PPP does NOTHING. When I wake up at 7, it's still dead and will remain dead until I do something. The weird thing is, all I do is run pppctl xxxx, and it dials instantly. Before I even see the password prompt. What is the problem here and how do I fix it? --- Fr.
